Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly, and he hummed in response.

He continued, "The island lord said he won't forget your contributions, so keep up the good work."

After saying that, the middle-aged man raised his hand and patted the old man on the shoulder. The old man immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"

After the old man turned and left, the middle-aged man sneered disdainfully, then turned back and muttered, "Useless!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuetong slowly withdrew her gaze, a thoughtful look flashing in her dark eyes.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Li Qingrong asked, "How are we going to get in?"

"Want to get in? That's easy." Jiang Yuetong smiled and took out three talismans from her spatial storage.

Li Qingrong's eyes lit up immediately. With the talisman, they could instantly enter the castle to check the situation.

Jiang Yuetong handed a talisman to Li Qingrong, and then to Lü Jingliang. She raised her delicate eyebrows and said calmly, "Giving it to you isn't for free."

Lu Jingliang glanced at her and said, "Okay."

Jiang Yuetong: "..."

Don't do that, it makes me seem petty.

At this moment, Jiang Yuetong noticed a commotion not far away and quickly struck out with spiritual energy gathered in her palm.

A hand reached out from behind the big tree. The person deflected Jiang Yuetong's attack and whispered to them, "We're all on the same side!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Yuetong stopped what she was doing. Then she saw the old man, dressed in white, walking over with the aloof Song Yunqian.

Two men and a woman were following behind them.

They were all familiar faces to Jiang Yuetong.

As they approached the castle wall, the old man looked at Jiang Yuetong and said with a smile, "We really are destined to meet again! Even though we are on different paths, we can still meet again."

Jiang Yuetong remained indifferent and did not respond, her eyes dangerously fixed on the three people he had brought with him.

She recognized a man and a woman; they had entered the Holy Sword Sect's secret realm before and were the same people who had tried to rob Jiang Xinyao.

Unexpectedly, they were so lucky. She had scattered so much beast-attracting powder around them that it was enough to attract all the magical beasts within a ten-kilometer radius.

As for the purple-clad man who kept his head down, Jiang Yuetong was quite familiar with him.

Seeing that Jiang Yuetong kept looking behind him and ignored him, the old man became somewhat displeased.

Why are you looking at that kid?

Upon hearing this, the man in purple lowered his head even further.

Jiang Yuetong lowered her voice and said sternly, "Lu Shi'an!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Shi'an couldn't pretend he didn't see her anymore.

He ran over and hugged Jiang Yuetong's legs, then began to cry as if in pain: "Master, I've finally seen you! Your disciple has been looking for you for so long!"

Jiang Yuetong: "..."

I almost believed it.

Everyone was shocked by Lu Shi'an's actions!

Lu Jingliang reached out and grabbed the back of his shirt, pulling him away. His eyes held a warning as he coldly glanced at Lu Shi'an.

Lu Shi'an was thrown to the ground, and all he wanted was to save his life. He then got up and ran over to Jiang Yuetong's leg, where he started to cry pitifully.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close, Jiang Yuetong reached out and pinched his ear, her dark eyes narrowing dangerously.

"When did you leave the Nine Demon Tower? Who did you infiltrate the secret realm with? Tell the truth!"

Lu Shi'an was pulled by the ear, and he grimaced in pain.

He also replied to her, "I only came out on the day the secret realm opened, and I was all alone. My apprentice was worried about you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong snorted coldly and raised her hand to slap his head without saying a word.

"What are you worried about!"
